REGISTRATION REQUIRED Virtual Event According to the Celiac Disease Foundation, it is estimated that 1 in 100 people worldwide have celiac disease, but only 30% are properly diagnosed. And while non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) can be difficult to diagnose because it is not an autoimmune disease or a food allergy, it is estimated that 15% of the U.S. population has some sort of NCGS. Join us for a discussion on what you need to know about celiac disease and NCGS, including symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. The session will also discuss common challenges with the gluten-free diet, myths vs. facts, and what is new in research during the Weill Cornell Medicine Wellness Series with the Harry Belafonte 115th Street Library.
